Bob.. My good cyber friend Toco put up something to consider re lower crude.

So has ISOPATCH on JOHN P's board.

In a deflationary boom where commodities are dropping like a rock can temper/reduce expenses of companies and increase profit margins in the short-term. As long as their price of their product/service doesn't spiral downwards too. Those companies that can control prices of their products/services will do well. I'm looking for those.

A deflationary boom can easily become a bust. The falling prices of crude is a trojan horse as far as I'm concerned. It may seem that way initially benefiting the consumer and the income -- a tax cut. Enjoy while it lasts. But over time we could be importing deflation and that would be very bad. It's already in Japan and in Europe the clouds of deflation are gaining a permanent foothold. I'm not very impressed with Draghi or the ECB.
